Creativity
be creative through a poem or free verse.
out of frame
my emotions are in pain
as if someone pulled out my lungs
dragged them across the wooden floor
and put them in icy water
only to leave me with a fever
that I can’t touch
the heat spreading through my skin
yet leaving me numb
powerless
with a whole gaping inside
blood streaming
but body intact
mind working
everything working, are you sure?
the strings that build me
they tangle
they shift
I feel so outside
sensations disturbing my matter
leaving me blind to logic
no sanity to sign on the dotted line
just this thing that I have
something without a name
it prays on me
but it also leaves
it always does
the only words falling out of me
are
it will get better... just not today
